Menaggio

Situated on the central part of Lake Como, Menaggio is an ideal location to explore the lake. There is a lovely promenade with plenty of boutiques and craft shops to tempt. Menaggio is easily linked to other villages by boat and hydro-foil to the big cities by rail.

Active guests who tire of gazing at the beauty of the lake and the mountains can visit the beach and large swimming pool at the Lido. Water skiing windsurfing and canoeing are available on the lake too, and on dry land hill walking climbing and horse riding can be organised, your hotel has the details.

Tremezzo

Situated right on the lake with a ferry stop nearby,Tremezzo is a smaller town. The Tremezzo Palace is in a great location to visit local historical, cultural and scenic sights. Villa Carlotta is within 5 minutes walk of the hotel and has beautiful park gardens with many rare plants. There are several other “villas” local to this part of the lake.

Bellagio

Bellagio is fondly known as the “pearl of the lake” and enjoys an unrivalled setting on Lake Como. The picturesque old town still retains its medieval layout with cobbled alleys leading off from the waters edge – with plenty of tempting restaurants and boutiques. Waterside cafes are perfect for people watching. The ferry stop ensures all areas of the lake are easily accessible.

The quite gorgeous. gardens of the Villa Serbelloni are open to the public. A steep path passes above the Villa to provide stunning views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. This particular Villa Serbelloni belongs to the Rockefeller Foundation and is not to be confused with the luxurious hotel of the same name.

Malcesine

The views are truly spectacular and many guests enjoy the walking trails. Water sports on the lake include sailing, kitesurfing and windsurfing.
